Up and At 'em

Some lunch, a nap, now this is the life!


Kate is 3 1/2 weeks old and her eyes are open. She hears me come into the room and is starting to "bark" - well it's her version of a bark. She is also starting to stand and walk. She totters a bit, but has been able to put at least 4 good steps together before sitting or "flopping down". She is nursing well, has been gaining weight - not quite as dramatically as she did in the beginning - and seems very healthy.




No flash please, it hurts my eyes.


Rosa is nursing her, but the times in between are lengthening. Next week is when I'll introduce some goats milk and baby cereal. The pictures from that should be a hoot!
My granddaughter, Ashley, continues to be a big help. She gets down with Kate and "plays" with her. I was able to go to the Irish Water Spaniel National Specialty this past Friday, Saturday and Sunday, because Ashley was able to spend many hours here at the house with Kate.
I'll be making some visits to the local goat farm next week and will try to get some pictures of the goats lining up to be milked. They are a riot! They all seem to know their place and no one "cuts" the line!
